Description

Explore the complex relationship between power and creativity in seventeenth-century Rome with this scholarly work from Routledge. Karen J. Lloyd uses extensive archival research to examine how cardinal nephews used art to shape their political identities. These individuals, raised to the cardinalate as princes of the Church, used artistic commissions to go beyond simple displays of social status. This book looks at how politically savvy frescos and emotionally evocative paintings, sculptures, and curiosities helped define nepotism as a form of good Catholic rule. By analyzing the works of legendary artists such as Guido Reni and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the text reveals how these high-ranking figures utilized their unique proximity to the pope to influence the visual culture of the era. It provides a deep look into how art served as a tool for political legitimacy and religious expression during a transformative period in Roman history.
